Bentayg spoke about his ambitions with the team, saying: "My goal, along with all Zamalek players, is to win all possible titles to bring joy to the fans who always support us in good times and bad. Zamalek is a big team that competes for every tournament it participates in."
He concluded by saying: "I thank the Zamalek fans for their support and help during the past period, and I hope to live up to their expectations of me."
